Mental Health Bill [Lords]

I certainly apologise if the Minister thought that I was unduly aggressive. The point that I was making is that she trooped out a dozen or so professionals to give their view, which happened to accord with her view but not with the view of the majority of the professional bodies to which they belonged. She has to admit that Dr. Swartz, who was rather surprised to be here, did not actually know why he was here, or the Government’s position on the legislation that he was supposed to be commenting on. One did wonder why the meeting was set up in that form.
